Fiona used to be my neighbour, over the back for several years. ( Fiona insists that I was actually over the back.)  She’s also the grandmother of Oscar and Violet in the previous portrait.  Here she is with her much loved Musk Lorikeet parrots Ziggy and Zelda. Ziggy is the one on Fiona’s shoulder and Zelda is thinking about having a sip of tea.

Both birds have since passed away.  Rest in Peace, Ziggy and Zelda.
